Set within a part of the world not best known as a clubbing hotspot — well, not that sort of clubbing, at least — Illuzion is located within the bustling nightlife district of Phuket’s Bangla Road. Once a shopping mall, this 5000-square-metre auditorium today rests as one of the most spellbinding clubbing encounters to be had in the Far East. Ostentatiously geared towards its VIPs, the club guarantees the world’s most titanic DJs — Sven Väth is a regular here, and Nervo, Steve Aoki and R3HAB have all brought sets to an explosive main room offering professional dancers, hails of paper showers and CO2 rockets.
